What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

In an instant, she understood from the previous and subsequent conversations that the so-called Mora was the large amount of currency in Teyvat.

What Zhong Ling meant by this sentence is 'Do you have money?'

"Traveler... I suppose you are... without Mora?"

"Indeed, I don't even know what Mora is or what she looks like." Ying nodded very seriously.

Since Ying is an outsider, it is normal that she does not have Mora on her body.

"Forget it, let's go into the city first. I'll pay for your travel expenses." Zhong Ling sighed slightly.

"Isn't this bad?" Ying shook her body awkwardly.

"Then I will only pay for Paimeng's travel expenses, and Ying can pay for it herself." Zhong Ling said unhappily when she saw Ying's deliberate shy look.

"Great!" Paimon cheered. "Ms. Zhong Ling is so nice!"

"Eh?! Miss Zhong Ling, my stomach isn't very good and the doctor said I can only eat soft food!" Ying shouted hurriedly.

'...'

"The Traveler is so shameless." Paimon, who found a new backer, crossed his arms and said proudly.

"Paimeng..." Ying rushed towards Paimeng fiercely. "Let me pinch your rich collagen!"

"Wow, Miss Zhong Ling, save me!" Paimon covered his cheek and flew towards Zhong Ling.

'Sass! Just as Ying and Paimon were playing and fighting, a friction sound was heard between the trees nearby.

Then a dark red figure suddenly jumped out and landed in front of three...two and a half people.

"May the Wind God protect you, um... strange but respectable traveler." The dark red girl performed a standard knight's salute. "I am Amber, the Scout Knight of the Knights of Favonius."

"Wow...what a stiff greeting..." Paimon sighed.

A.8 Lie without blinking

"Please state your identity and destination. The Knights of Favonius will provide for your safety." The young lady knight named Amber finished a long speech as if reciting a book before looking at Paimon. "Are you dissatisfied with our Knights' Manual?"

"Uh...no..." Paimon shrank his neck.

"I'm a wandering poet from Liyue and a painter. My destination is Mondstadt. Here is my certificate." Zhong Ling took out his pass from his sleeve and handed it to Amber.

"So you're a poet from Liyue?" Amber opened the pass and took a look. After confirming its authenticity, he nodded. "Welcome to Mondstadt."

It seems that Amber has a good impression of Liyue and her attitude has become much more enthusiastic.

"So, who are these two?" Although Amber was very curious about what Paimon was, she still had to abide by the rules of the Knights Templar.

"Her name is Ying, she is..." Zhong Ling looked at Ying and hesitated for a moment before speaking. "She is my bodyguard. My brother was worried about me coming to Mondstadt alone, so he found a bodyguard for me. As for this little girl, her name is Paimon, and she is a very magical elemental creation." (Edited)

"I see." Amber nodded seriously. "Liyue's elemental creations can actually transform into human form? I've learned something new."

"But I'm sorry, we were attacked by the Hillil people on the way here, and Ying's identity certificate and pass were lost." Zhong Ling made up a lie without changing his expression.

Although Zhong Ling hates people who cheat and lie.

But Ying's identity is force majeure, after all, she is an outsider.

It’s better not to reveal this identity to too many people.

Zhong Ling believes that Ying is not a bad guy. If so...

Then it's time to let the bad guys have a taste of what 'the ocean is boundless' means.

"I see." Amber looked at Ying with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "The area around Mondstadt has not been peaceful recently. Due to the influence of the Wind Dragon, the monsters have become more violent."

"Anyway, welcome to Mondstadt. Please go to the Knights' Order as soon as possible to apply for identity certificates after entering the city. However, this requires Miss Zhong Ling's guarantee."

"Eh? Aren't you going back to Mondstadt?" Paimon said, pinching his chin.

"People have reported that there is a gathering of Hilichurls not far away. I'm going to drive them away." Amber still has her own tasks to complete, so she naturally cannot go back to the city with them.

"Is that so..." Zhong Ling looked at Amber, then at Ying. "Let Ying lend you a hand. If there were only three of us, we would definitely be stopped by the knights guarding the city when we enter the city. But with Knight Amber here, we can save some effort."

"This is against the rules..." Amber said awkwardly. "And Miss Ying..."

"Ying also has the 'Eye of God', she is very strong." Zhong Ling took out a 'Wind-type Eye of God' from Liyue at some point, quietly hung it on Ying's scarf, then patted Ying on the back, allowing Ying's 'Wind-type Eye of God' to be seen by Amber.

"Is it the 'Eye of God of Wind'?" Amber looked at the 'Eye of God' on Ying's scarf in surprise.

Amber, or many Knights of Favonius, have a special respect and trust for the 'Eye of the Wind God'.

There are two reasons. The first one is naturally because Mondstadt is the kingdom of wind, and they are the people of the [God of Wind]. The 'Eye of God' is only possessed by those who have attracted the 'attention' of God, so the 'Eye of God of Wind' naturally belongs to those who are 'watched' by the [God of Wind].

The second reason is that the super popular [Acting Leader] of the [Knights of Favonius], Jean Gunnhildr, possesses the 'Eye of the Wind God'.

"Ah... um." Suddenly she felt a heaviness on her neck, and coupled with Amber's words, Ying understood the situation.

Without her noticing, Zhong Ling hung a fake 'Eye of God' on her scarf.

"In that case, please come with me to drive away the Hilichurls. I will thank you all later." After seeing the 'Eye of the Wind God', Amber's attitude became better.

"Thank you... Are you going to treat us to a meal?" Paimon asked expectantly.

"Well, when we get back to the city, I'll treat the three of you to Mondstadt's best restaurant, 'The Deer Hunter'. You'll definitely like it." After hearing what Paimon said, Amber decided on her 'thank you gift'.

"Wow~ Let's get going quickly!" Paimon stepped on the air excitedly.

----

"Hey, Miss Zhong Ling, how come you have the 'Wind God's Eye'?" Ying approached Zhong Ling and asked in confusion.

"When you go out, you always have to have some means." Zhong Ling did not give a direct answer, but shook his sleeves.

Only then did Ying discover that there was a blue ornament hanging on Zhong Ling's sleeve.

Looking closely, I realized that it was Liyue's 'Eye of the Water God'.

Then Ying looked at Zhong Ling and smiled as he took out a 'Thunder God's Eye' and an 'Ice God's Eye' from his sleeves.

"Uh..." Ying opened her mouth, but finally decided not to say anything.

"Haha." Zhong Ling chuckled, quickened her pace a little, and caught up with Amber.

...

......

"We're here." Amber quietly poked her head out from a high place.

About two hundred meters away from them, there was a circle of rough wooden fence.

There are roughly fifteen Hilichurls inside the fence.

"Hiss, this is not good..." Amber swallowed. "Although there is no Hillicul Shaman, there is actually a Hillicul Thug."

Not only that, these hillbillies also imprisoned several large fire slimes in basins of water.

Slime is something that is very weak when you say it is weak, and very strong when you say it is strong.

After all, slimes are made up of elements, although small slimes can only use collision.

However, the impact with the attached elements will still cause considerable damage. However, small slimes have limited means of attack and generally do not pose any threat.

But large slimes are different.

Large slimes of each attribute are very difficult monsters to deal with.

If we use the adventurer level as an analogy, generally only adventurers from the 'secondary world' can win, and this is still under the condition of attribute restraint.

Like Amber, Amber's strength is indeed 'Level 2', but she possesses the 'Fire God's Eye', and her elemental power can hardly cause any damage to the fire slime, let alone a large fire slime.

"It seems that there is an error in the intelligence. Let's go back to the city and report first. This place where the Hillichells gather is no longer something we can..." Before Amber finished her words, Ying suddenly flashed in front of Amber and pushed forward with her hand that was filled with the power of wind element.

A wave of wind blew out from her palm, knocking down an arrow filled with lightning elemental power.

"We've been discovered!" Amber instantly bent his bow and drew his arrow. The red light of the 'Eye of the Fire God' on his waist flashed, and flames rose on the arrow. He aimed at the hillilian with the thunder arrow and launched a counterattack.

A.9 The plan to slack off failed

The combination of elemental power and the standard longbow of the Knights of Favonius made a distance of more than 200 meters no problem for Amber.

The burning arrow was aimed precisely at the head of the Thunder Arrow Hillman.

However, at a distance of 200 meters, the arrow still needs some time to fly, and this period of time is enough for the Hillilite to dodge the thunder arrow.

Many people think that the Qiuqiu people are of low intelligence, but this is not actually the case.

Someone once did an experiment and came to a conclusion.

The intelligence of most adult Hill people is equivalent to that of a child around seven or eight years old.

The intelligence of a Hill Climb Thug is usually around ten years old, and the intelligence of various Hill Climb Kings and Hill Climb Shamans is even higher.

Therefore, if you underestimate the Hillilians, you will definitely suffer a great loss.

"Miss Ying, let's retreat." Zhong Ling said to Ying as she looked at the Fire Axe Hillock thugs rushing towards them.

The heavy battle axe was glowing with red flames. It was not something that ordinary people could lift. However, it was the most suitable weapon for the muscular Hilliard thugs.

The strength of the Hilliard thugs is very strong. If an adventurer does not have the "Eye of God", he must use all the means he can use to repel them. After all, not everyone has the ability to deal with such a powerful attack.

The adventurer who possesses the "Eye of God" will only be qualified to fight it after lighting up the second life star, and it is only the qualification for a battle.

Here, Amber's strength is roughly only enough to light up the first life star, and Ying may have the strength of two life stars, but there are more than just hillickel thugs attacking them.

There are other hillbillies around it.

If Zhong Ling didn't take action, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.

"Yeah." Ying thought for a moment and decided to retreat first. She no longer had the strength she once had.

This kind of power can even be said to be one in a thousand, and it really can't do anything.

At this moment, the Hilliard thug seemed to sense their intention to retreat. It raised the battle axe in its hand high, and its knotted and bulging muscles expanded again. Then it suddenly threw the battle axe in its hand.

The surging fire element on the battle axe produced a small reaction with the ubiquitous wind element in Mondstadt.

And it was just this reaction that made the fire element even more terrifying.

The entire battle axe turned into a wheel of fire and attacked the few people.

'boom! ! ! ’

The battle axe landed fiercely behind them, and the blazing fire elemental force burst out, even tearing the ground apart and transforming into pillars of fire.

"【Spiritual Technique·A Foot-Long Wave of Water】" Zhong Ling put two fingers together, and the 'Water God's Eye' hanging on her sleeves created blue waves.

A tiny wisp of water elemental force shot out from the fingertips and sank into the ground.

The next moment, a clear water curtain gushed out from the wet ground, blocking the fire elemental power rising from the earth.

"Ms. Amber!" Zhong Ling shouted to Amber.

"Understood!" Amber responded, and her 'Eye of God' glowed red again.

Then, a doll slightly bigger than Paimon appeared in Amber's hand.

"Go, [Count Rabbit]!" Amber threw it out fiercely and exhaled the "Spirit of Words" at the same time.

'Word Spirit' is the activation phrase and hint for the owner of 'God's Eye' to release his own specific moves. It is usually used to delay or activate pre-prepared equipment.

If Amber hadn't spoken the "Word Spirit", this doll would have been just an ordinary doll.

However, when Amber calls upon [Count Rabbit], the doll will turn into a super bomb filled with fire elemental power.

They are now in a high place, which is an advantage.

However, once the hill people bypassed the hillside, they would directly cut off their retreat.

Then they can only jump from here.

Therefore, they must evacuate before the Hillichels cut off their retreat, or use the advantage of the high ground to eliminate more Hillichels to expand their advantage.

The large doll that Amber suddenly threw attracted the attention of the hill thugs.

But it was not curious about this thing. It clenched its strong fists and prepared to knock the doll away with its fists.

But it didn't know that when its fist broke the doll, that was the moment the doll exploded.

But...the use of [Count Bunny] is definitely not just to let the Hillicruc Thugs detonate it.

"This is better." Zhong Ling, who originally had no intention of taking action, could not bear it when she saw such a good opportunity.
